I recall a picture that was posted here depicting how to pressurize the intake to check for leaks. It had the carb removed with a plate bolted down on the intake manifold in place of the carb. Attached to the plate was some sort of air hose connection. I believe the idea was to back off all the rocker arms to effectively close all valves and then lightly pressurize the manifold and check for leakage.
